Chapter 727: Acknowledging Him As Their Master
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Punk, you’re really too arrogant! You have to know that young people who are too arrogant usually don’t end up well!” Axel said through gritted teeth.
He desperately wanted to instruct the people behind him to take down Lucas immediately.
Unfortunately, based on the strength Lucas had displayed earlier, Axel could conclude that his strength might not be comparable to Lucas’s, and he didn’t have the confidence to make a move against Lucas.
Reason being, it was apparent that everything Lucas had shown was far from his true strength.
Even though he had many people on his side, he wouldn’t have any advantage if the gap between their martial arts skills was too large because it would be like a group of young children fighting against a tall and strong adult.
Lucas sneered. “You don’t have to worry about me. At least, I’m still alive and well now, and none of those who have tried to go against me ended up well. I hope you’ll remember this!”
“You!” Axel was once again stumped by Lucas’s words to the point that he was about to vomit blood.
At this moment, Edmund finally couldn’t bear it anymore. “Mr. Fox, the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation has always boasted about not interfering in the affairs of the top families. But now, you keep trying to force Mr. Gray to join the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. Isn’t that too much?”
“That’s right. It’s Mr. Gray’s freedom to choose if he wants to join the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation or not. He has clearly stated that he doesn’t want to join you, yet you refuse to give up. You’ve really gone overboard!” Bruce accused righteously.
“Yes, the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation has indeed gone overboard!” Damon also stood by Lucas.
“Indeed, the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation is being too much!” Ethan said.
The other major families looked at each other before standing up and saying in unison, “The Peerless Martial a.s.sociation has gone overboard!”
Axel’s face became even more gloomy.
He was already extremely displeased that Lucas had the audacity to reject his offer and even rebuke him, which was an absolute insult to Axel.
Now, the helmsmen of these families of California dared to stand on Lucas’s side and reprimand him for being overboard, making him even more furious.
Moreover, it was all caused by Lucas!
With so many families helping Lucas, there was nothing he could do to Lucas now, let alone take his anger out on these families.
“Okay, you people are very good! Since you’ve all chosen to take his side, don’t regret your decision later!” Axel looked around at the crowd angrily before turning around to leave with the people of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation.
“Congratulations, Mr. Gray, for becoming the leader of California today. Furthermore, the Hales have acknowledged Mr. Gray as our master.” With a smile on his face, Bruce took the lead to get on one knee in front of Lucas while pulling Connor down as well. They knelt to Lucas at the same time.
The Hales had actually pledged allegiance to Lucas a long time ago and had even acknowledged him as their master. Bruce and Connor took the initiative to reveal their ident.i.ties in front of everyone to show the relations.h.i.+p between the Hales and Lucas.
Bruce and Connor’s actions immediately shocked the families present.
Just a short while ago, they had all decided to pledge allegiance to Lucas. But now, the Hales actually acknowledged Lucas as their master, which was a big deal!
Unless there was an immense gap in power, or they greatly trusted the other party, a family would never easily acknowledge another person as their master.
As one of the four top families of Orange County, the Hales actually took Lucas as their master. It was simply too shocking!
“From today onward, the Parkers will also acknowledge Mr. Gray as our master!” But before everyone’s shock subsided, Damon also took the Parkers’ direct descendants with him to Lucas and got down on one knee in front of him.
The Parkers and the Hales were actually in a similar situation, and they had also pledged loyalty to Lucas a long time ago. Damon was extremely impressed by Lucas’s abilities, so he was the second to publicly acknowledge Lucas as his master.
“From today onward, the Sawyers will acknowledge Mr. Gray as our leader!” Not wanting to be left out, Ethan hurriedly got on his knees in front of Lucas after the Hales and the Parkers did.
He had given up on Lucas once before, and even now, he often regretted his decision, especially after witnessing Lucas’s powerful strength today. It made Ethan convinced that Lucas definitely had a limitless future.
Thus, he had to seize this opportunity to strengthen the relations.h.i.+p between Lucas and his family!
“The Coles of San Francisco will acknowledge Mr. Gray as our master from today onward!” Edmund also stepped forward and got down on one knee in front of Lucas.
“What?!”
Three top families’ actions of acknowledging Lucas as their master one after another had already shocked the crowd. Edmund’s actions pushed their shock to the peak!
Edmund not only represented the top family in California now, but he had always been a tough, righteous, and zealous person who had never submitted to anyone in all these years.
Yet he actually got on one knee in front of a young man in his twenties and willingly offered his service to him!
This scene deeply agitated everyone in the room!
Clement, standing next to Edmund, was shocked silly!
He could never have imagined this. Just last night, he had condescendingly thrown a four-million-dollar bank card at Lucas and demanded that he stay away from his daughter and father.
But in just one day, Lucas became the master of the Coles with his overbearing power and had a status far superior to his.
…
Seeing that even the strongest Cole family in California had recognized Lucas as their master, the helmsmen of the other families looked at each other and all knelt down on one knee toward Lucas.
“The Julians are willing to plead allegiance to Mr. Gray!”
“The Kellers are willing to acknowledge Mr. Gray as our master!”
“The Sheldons are willing to acknowledge Mr. Gray as our master!”
…
All of a sudden, all the major families at the venue got on one knee and pledged allegiance to Lucas.
In the end, only the Taylors of Orange County were left standing and sticking out like a sore thumb.
Lucas stood proudly among the crowd and glanced at Frederick indifferently.
Frederick, the head of the Taylors, immediately stiffened as sweat gushed out of his body.
